5 Rounds of #4 Buck 12ga Ammo by Rio Royal Buck Fiber Wad

Shotguns are versatile weapons, great for everything from hunting to shooting clays to target practice. Of course, one of their longest-standing uses is home defense. If you use your shotgun for home defense, make sure you keep your gun loaded with the right rounds. Although some gun owners automatically lean towards slugs or 00 buckshot due to the enormous stopping power of those loads, those options have something in common: drastic over-penetration. Firing those rounds can easily result in their blowing right through the drywall or a door, striking an innocent person on the other side. Using a different, smaller load prevents such risk and still delivers excellent stopping power.

Rio manufactures these rounds for your 12-gauge shotgun. Each round is 2 ¾” long and filled with 21 pellets of #4 buckshot. These rounds leave the barrel of your shotgun with a muzzle velocity of 1345 feet per second and impact targets with enormous energy. #4 buckshot is a favored round for home defense because it’s strong enough to stop assailants in their tracks and small enough to prevent the dramatic over-penetration rounds like 00 buckshot can create. You can use these rounds both for home defense and target practice.
